Snake with Flexible Parts, Jizai-okimono

The free flowing joints and the feeling it could almost be real make it hard to know at first sight that the snake is a lump of metal. The body of this snake is made of more then 250 cylindrical parts that move as though they were it’s own joints and enable the shape to be changed freely into flowing curves or tight coils. Flexible display objects like this are called jizai-okimono (jizai=free okimono=object), and have moveable bodies, hands and legs（even the antennas）.
